    HELP!! scale rot?
    Hi I have a young bp and I am worried about one of his scales. I believe that he has had respiratory problems in the past, was dehydrated, and not always shedding in one piece but he is all better now, but I'm worried again! He just shed like yesterday and I'm pretty sure in one piece, no problems. But I was just looking at him and noticed one of the scales on his belly is orange-ish which I am assuming isn't good. I have attached the best photos I could take of the scale. I think it could be scale rot, or maybe one random little piece of left over shed? All help and feedback is greatly appreciated! Thank you so much in advance!

    sorry that they're kind of bad quality. The scale in question is the orangish one..

    hopefully it worked that time! again, any and all help is appreciated!

    It does look like very minor scale rot. It's so minor, it's really nothing to worry about. It will go away with the next shed. Just make sure to keep your enclosure clean.
